Spencer Pratt held a 40,000-vote lead in the LA Mayor's race. It's gone. Steve Hilton was winning the governor's race on election night. Then California kept counting. Trump called it stolen.
Hilton — Trump's own endorsed candidate — said he saw nothing illegal. We break down exactly what happened, why it keeps happening every single election cycle, and why nobody in Sacramento ever explains it before it does.
Tonight's four stories: how California's election system actually works and why counting takes weeks; what "ballot dumps" really are and what documented fraud in California actually looks like (it's not zero, but it's not what you're being told either); what could actually fix the system — including the Voter ID proposition on your November ballot and a Supreme Court case that could blow up California elections before November; and a real-time breakdown of the governor's race and LA Mayor's race as the votes keep coming in.
